As always, very good video. As a kid growing up , Mom and Dad planted gardens in the summer, and later on Daddy planted at least 10 acres of corn, all harvested by hand, as feed for our animals, but to see someone who has a huge farm like yours is fascinating and gives me a greater appreciation for what farms like yours do and how you help provide for our nation. Keep up the good work, and thanks for feeding us.
I like the fact that this medium sized channel is better than most huge vlogers and you actually learn a few things from this guy when your paying attention, keep up the great work MN.
I was a truck mechanic and worked for an oil well drilling company in the Texas Panhandle for a few years and their big trucks and dirt equipment was pretty old. One year we had several weeks five below temperatures. Every morning we had to help get everything started. We would hook the booster cables to the equipment to make certain the charge on the batteries was all the way up while we stuck a propane torch to the oil pan to get heat into the engine. It was so cold that only a flicker of flame came out of the torch so we had to stick a second torch to heat up the bottle of the first torch so we could get a goof flame. Then cross our fingers and use a liberal amount of starting fluid. It was a royal pain in the keister. Fortunately, after about five days, I was able to convince them that leaving everything running over night was better than what we were doing to get things started, which meant the field crew could get to work hours earlier, and I could spend most of my time in a warm shop getting broken stuff fixed so the rest of the crew could get back to work. By the way, my father is eighty-two years old, still a full time farmer, and has nothing but John Deere. Go big green!
MN Millennial Farmer, I heard someone say they start like that because of the type of injectors "Bodine?" on the engines ? Any truth to that ? Thanks !
It's so great to see the family in the combine with Dad. How does Minnesota manage to keep Pheasants alive when it was impossible in Wisconsin when I was growing up? It must be the 10,000 lakes. I sure enjoy your channel and being back in the midwest during each upload. When the non green commentors take shots, being 200 acres ahead on harvest makes a hell of a difference with dealership support like you've received. Awesome channel for farmers and those less fortunate living in subdivisions.
How I wish I was born on a farm! It is nearly impossible to enter the farming industry if you're not originally from there, been posting for a nearly a year without success. Thankfully there's this channel where I can see and feel what it's like to work on a farm, I'm always looking forward to new videos! Thanks for making these, and I hope you keep getting this nice weather for the rest of your harvest!
Zach: Love your tenacity, going night and day to get the crop in the tanks. You always show good humor even when problems arise. Best wishes to you and your family. - Dean from Edina.
Zach I can't call it a day until I've checked out what you uploaded to UA-cam, even when I'm damn tired after being out all day in our fields I just have to see what you been up to for the day. Love the content and love seeing all the green on your farm. Keep up the good work!
We went racing this weekend and had no phone service and I got home and seen Broken Finger man you had me worried!! Tomorrow harvest starts here on our farm Rock On!!!!!
Keep up the great work. As always great to see the family, prayers and God bless you and your family. I think farmers are greatly underappreciated and people need to know how important farmers are to all of us. Yes I will support Nick!
You guys are much nicer than most farmers around here. These guys typically don't slow down and allow drivers to leave and spend time with their families. I can always spot a tractor driver here, they look like they have no lives.
Stone piles suck! I help out a friend with his crops, he was open up a corn field this fall for chopping and their is a stone pile in the middle of the field. He right along side it when he split the field, coming back the other way he had to go around it and in doing so got the chopper box too close to it, long story short it ended up on it’s side ☹️ but we got very lucky and when we got it upright everything still works no damage other than a slightly twisted tongue!
So envious of how good your dealer support is I had the main shock dampener that's on the main gear case go out on my 9870 and it took them a week to get it fix. But if it goes up and down and round and round it's going to breakdown. Don't care what color it is.
Thanks for the Nick Saik reference. He has some good videos and a good message. Keep up the good work, enjoy your videos. Especially the parts where things go wrong, so I know that is not just me.
pretty sad to see the challenger go, back to green. Got scared when I saw the name of the vid, I thought YOU broke your fingers! Keep up the good work! God bless you
We break fingers off all the time. Usually it is wads building up in the header and when they hit the fingers they shear them off. Sometimes you only have 1 or 2 fingers left. It sucks but we plant in wheat stubble on our double crop beans and they hold a lot of moisture. In the Mississippi River basin we have really high humidity and tons of moisture in the wheat stubble and many times the beans do not feed well at all. But usually we stay away from items that you could run up in the header like that rock pile you were right next too. Their are no rocks here unless its for a waterway.
5:15 Second flat tire! Implement tires are junk these days. What I've been doing is switching them out to 16 inch rims and using my old pickup tires. Heck of a lot tougher, and cheaper. Haven't had one fail me yet. You can actually get an ag rim to use 22.5 semi tires too, if you're looking for ultimate toughness.
Zach thanks for the Nick Saik link. Watched 2 videos and looks very interesting, look forward to watching more. I have followed your channel since the beginning great to see your success on film and in the operation. Professionally I'm a mechanical engineer and I also farm 1100 acres. Those acres are split 50% conventional (GMO and Non-gmo) and the other 50% is organic.
Anyone thought you put Lanz Bulldog behind combine the way it fired up. Great to hear 9650 is fixed. It sounds like Nic got right idea on farming I wish could show him what farming like hear in Australia👍
We live in the north part of Brant County in Ontario Canada. This part of the county is surrounded by stone quarry's. Picking out rocks of headers during harvest is a pastime here...
Life is not the same when Grandpa and Grandma sold the farm, they were getting too old. Maybe I shouldn't have joined the Army and taken over the farm instead.... I miss the smells and the cool breeze in Granada, MN. I miss it so much.
Running a combine before I figured that’s what you had done! Well you can see the end of the row or as my daddy would say this is the row I was hunting!
You're more conscientious than I am...I have to break nearly half the auger fingers before I'll stop and fix them lol. I just keep going and try to put it off until morning, but if it affects the feeding I have to stop. Nice that you have a service truck and someone you can call to help. I just carry those fingers along with some other basic header parts in a toolbox that hangs on the side of the combine. You sure have to fight the rocks up there, I won't complain too much you have it a lot worse than I do. You'd think you might actually get to a point where all the rocks have been picked up but they just keep working themselves out of the ground don't they? Keep up the good work young man!
I guess you could call the tittle click bait but they really did break some fingers so that makes it interesting lol freaken love this farming stuff my mothers family live in Alberta Canada and they have houndreds of achers of wheat and when I was a teen I would go with my cousin on the combine so watching these videos brings back some good times
Dang Zach that was a heck of a rock! Good thing it was a quick fix! I think we give Zach all the credit but great job on the videos Becky #WorldsOkayestFarmer
Our favorite saying during harvest and it's been a slow afternoon at the shop is "duct tape, baling wire, and hopes and dreams are holding everything together till it rains" lol
Hey buddy I love the videos, keep em coming. I'm in the transportation business and haul lots of grain an such threw our trains. Sometimes I wonder if some of this grain on my train was from your farm. Great content brother, keep it going
Would it make sense to consider adding another grain bin sometime in the near future? Or would the cost of adding it be more than it's worth compared to using the grain bags?
We were short of bin space and it always seemed that the soybeans got in the way. About 6 years ago we reinforced and converted our 4 - 20x80 Harvestor silos to hold grain. They were right across the drive from the grain system. That's also when we put the pneumatic system in. I mean they were just sitting there, why not use them.
Dirty windows? Buy a California Duster! It’s the best for dusty combine windows! Just a couple minutes dusting your windows every night while the combine cools down. Only takes a couple minutes. Cheers from Saskatchewan!
I wish we could off done that when the time came to get going well done 7 days a week if that was ready to go you just got on with it. Loads of red bull good music nearly blowing the speakers out the tractor if that stayed try we never stopped. Your men must love a lot getting the time of. Bit glad you getting on with it now that's main thing. All the best
Ok, I think I saw one of Nicks videos a while ago on roundup. I watched a few more videos, I think we have to definitely support his channel. So much crap science videos on UA-cam. Anyone who farms should support and defend that guy
Thanks so much for bringing Nick Saik to our attention. He looks like a great "pro ag" communicator who wants to continue doing what he loves! I just signed up for monthly support for him and his young family at www.patreon.com/knowideasmedia
QUESTION: I know you just built another grain bin, but would it be prudent to build another so as to not have to rely on other grain storage systems, sometimes beyond your scheduling control, or does the rental cost offset the necessity of yet another grain bin construction?

As a kid growing up , Mom and Dad planted gardens in the summer, and later on Daddy planted at least 10 acres of corn, all harvested by hand, as feed for our animals, but to see someone who has a huge farm like yours is fascinating and gives me a greater appreciation for what farms like yours do and how you help provide for our nation.

The best part of farming. Getting stuff fixed fast and moving forward for the day. Big sense of accomplishment.
I thought you broke your finger😑.
But i am happy that you didn't break your fingers.
Me too!
Two Farm Boys I didn’t know you watched Zach too!
same with me

I hate too see that Challenger go but it's really good too see the 8360 back in action. Fantastic video once again sir.
you mean 8360
What did he say
My phone auto corrected it too 8630 for some reason
!70
Thanks for all you and your family do .... Thank you!!!!
Wow! That was one cold start.
Combine start-up sounded like a two banger for awhile.
These Deeres chug like that sometimes because the tornado dispenser has to heat up.
I have NEVER heard >tornado dispenser

Did Zach just click bait me ????? It sure worked 😂 btw I’m loving that snap chat filter 😂
Becky...... (insert evil laugh)
Glad to see the weather is cooperating have a great day be safe.
Just wrapped up beans today by Pelican Rapids. On to corn tomorrow hopefully the weather continues to cooperate
Austin Hoffman, good luck with the harvest!
You guys are much nicer than most farmers around here. These guys typically don't slow down and allow drivers to leave and spend time with their families. I can always spot a tractor driver here, they look like they have no lives.
We just finished are first 150 acers of beans here in southern Michigan still alot to go and haven't even touched are corn yet
I was worried you broke your fingers,it was the fingers on the combine,whew!!.
Sad to see the challenger go 😥
I just finished today in sask. When you get done down there. Bring the family up you can tour around and ill wine and dine you all!
Stone piles suck! I help out a friend with his crops, he was open up a corn field this fall for chopping and their is a stone pile in the middle of the field.

Midwest Machinery is awesome for us
Checked out Nicks Saik's video Thanks. Not being a farmer but a home gardener I appreciate what you are doing.
Grimy cold start, Zach. Also, that view never gets old, does it. Your family seems awesome, btw. Glad to see the kids getting involved!
“Solid tip” man I love this guy
I love the editing of your videos with quick little clips thrown in.
Man that combine does one crazy cold start sound.
Thanks for the Nick Saik reference. He has some good videos and a good message. Keep up the good work, enjoy your videos. Especially the parts where things go wrong, so I know that is not just me.
pretty sad to see the challenger go, back to green. Got scared when I saw the name of the vid, I thought YOU broke your fingers! Keep up the good work! God bless you
I listened to Nick Saik dad speak at a meet in Syracuse NY last winter and he was amazing. Great speaker very informative
Cold starts are cool to watch thank you
It's great that you have spare parts to hands i.e. the fingers on the auger. Initially I thought YOU had broken your fingers!
We break fingers off all the time. Usually it is wads building up in the header and when they hit the fingers they shear them off. Sometimes you only have 1 or 2 fingers left. It sucks but we plant in wheat stubble on our double crop beans and they hold a lot of moisture. In the Mississippi River basin we have really high humidity and tons of moisture in the wheat stubble and many times the beans do not feed well at all.

It’s good you let the hired hands have some family time in the busy season. Family first.
Well since your getting a bagger again this year. You might as well make that slip n slide you spoke of last year that slides you right into the bar!
Oooh 😮 green hospital treatment, lucky 🍀 the specialist was available!
Same here I thought some one broke a finger LOL. Glad that was not the case Happy Harvesting.
I saw three sprayers in a convoy passing thru Minneapolis today, massive machines!
Anyone thought you put Lanz Bulldog behind combine the way it fired up. Great to hear 9650 is fixed. It sounds like Nic got right idea on farming I wish could show him what farming like hear in Australia👍
Love the vids keep them up look forward for them every day and I even learn a little something each time
Your lawn mower is awesome bro!
Wow The Lawn Care Nut,that was a nice surprise, Hi to You,he needs a sticker on that tractor lol
Dad and I each have one right now. They ride rough as heck but they eat grass like mad
How did I miss it. What do you have...a ztrak? I'm shopping now for one.
We live in the north part of Brant County in Ontario Canada. This part of the county is surrounded by stone quarry's. Picking out rocks of headers during harvest is a pastime here...

We finished beans Saturday in NW Ohio. Back on corn. Luckily it's dry.
Keep up the good work. Just checked social blade and you are on pace to beat how farms work for biggest farming youtuber, go get it.
Nice cold start of the combine
Running a combine before I figured that’s what you had done! Well you can see the end of the row or as my daddy would say this is the row I was hunting!

I have to say you are my favorite UA-cam channel I watch all your videos and I also live in Minnesota
Buy rain x additive. Add to washer fluid. Helps avoid dirt and everything from sticking to glass!
That cold start from 0:44-0:55 now that’s a combine cold start!
Ooh the 9870 has such a nice cold start
Love the sound of that cold start
On our combine, we took the fingers off, and used a extended auger instead, works much better
Sweet operation.when ur boy grows up he will be running the equipment with his cell phone.and a drone.
The title is awesome
Cool glad that was a easy fix and your almost done with beans we just finished ours today were all done till next year yahooo deer hunting time!!
8:08 Onyx, “lets do 48 more.” What a great kid!!
Been watching for a little while now. Just subbed, love the channel guys!!
Snow on the ground here in Western NY. No combining today.
Oh and a BIG HI from Sherwood Park Alberta Canada
Love the cold start!!!

QUESTION: I know you just built another grain bin, but would it be prudent to build another so as to not have to rely on other grain storage systems, sometimes beyond your scheduling control, or does the rental cost offset the necessity of yet another grain bin construction?
Jordan Roberts I was wondering why they don't add another wet bin.
Bins are not cheap to build and with grain prices the way they are profits are tight.
@@Studio23Media you can only hold wet corn in a bin for so long before you have to cycle it through.
Building a grain bin in the winter probably won’t happen in Minnesota
Thanks for the shoutout!
I love that head nod at the beginning of the movie/video
my dad glued and duct taped the main drive belt for our haybine to finish off the hay season because it was really cracked
